I highly recommend Eric Schneider, he is smart, knowledgable, thorough and attentive throughout the process. Having a lawyer who pays close attention to detail can make a significant difference. That's really important, especially when safety is a concern. Eric made sure everything where the law is concerned is followed and carried out. He continues to be a great resource when I have questions and responds quickly. I would highly recommend Eric Scnheider. I am beyond pleased with my experience. Thank you Eric Schneider for your assistance.

I first met with Eric through a free consultation, and felt that he was very thorough, knowledgeable, and no BS. I still wanted to have more options and called different law offices. I was very hesitant as I have never worked with an attorney before and heard many horror stories of law offices being in it for the money. I did not get that feeling with Eric. What I felt was that every penny spend was worth it. Eric and his team helped me get through one of the most difficult parts of my life. Everything from the communications to the billing has been nothing but thorough and professional. My only concern is that, should I ever need to work with another attorney on a completely unrelated matter, my expectations may now be impossibly high.

Nobody ever wants to find themselves looking for a family law attorney. However, if you're in the…read moreposition where you need one, I could not recommend Michaela enough. This woman knows the law forwards and backwards. Michaela could name case laws off the top of her head. She could name family law codes on the spot without hesitation. She would do this actively, in court, and off the cuff. The confidence and powerful presence she had was palpable. She knew EVERYONE down to the bailiffs. I was in awe every single time we left the courthouse. I was fortunate enough to have Michaela help me navigate through one of the darkest seasons of my life. She was determined to keep myself and my children safe. That was her top priority. She refused to let me accept flimsy offers which would not protect my children and me long term. Michaela doesn't only think about what's best now, she thinks about the best course of action to maintain continuity 10 years from now. Michaela ensures, as best as humanly possible, I will not need to be a repeat client. Simply speaking, to Michaela, that means she did her job properly and up to her own ridiculously high standards. She would not waver until she secured a stable future for us. You won't find that kind of integrity in most law offices. She is extremely direct, and she will be the first to admit her delivery can be intense. But you have to remember, with 36 years experience under her belt, she's a no nonsense, cut to the chase, and not entertaining what she knows is futile just for billable hours, type-of-attorney. In the end, I won HUGE on EVERY issue brought before the court. Michaela kept my expectations grounded. She under promised and then immediately proceeded to over deliver. The court order was beyond my wildest dreams and far surpasses what is the "norm" for SD County. This was after it being my ex whom filed first, which can often give the petitioner (my ex) an edge. Michaela said, "hold my legal pad" and came in like a wrecking ball. Over the 18 months we were in court, my ex was also ordered to pay about 95% of my attorneys fees. She is the ambassador of FAFO. Michaela dog walked my ex's attorney (from a well known firm) so bad that he ended up hiring a new firm towards the end. Once the new firm was involved, Michaela was able to mediate a very favorable settlement for me. I truly hope you never need Michaela. But if you do, she should be the only person you consider. She will always put you and your children's safety first above everything. That kind of peace is priceless, especially when she gets your ex to fund it.

Unfortunately, my opinion of this law firm has changed, and I can no longer recommend their…read moreservices. Michaela and her team were attentive and proactive at the beginning of my case, but after I paid the second retainer, I noticed a clear decline in communication and effort. Michaela frequently solicits business from vulnerable women in a social media group that I am in, and I regret that I fell victim to this practice. Over time, it became evident that my case was being neglected, which ultimately led me to hire a new attorney to correct and complete the work that should have been handled by her team. After receiving my second retainer, they provided little to no attention to my case, were delayed in filing key paperwork, and my new lawyer even noted concern, stating she could see why I chose to terminate Michaela's services. Despite their lack of follow-through, the firm only refunded about 10% of my payment.

I am especially grateful to Sal, whom I was directly communicating with, for always being honest and kind. His dedication to keeping me informed and reassured made the entire process much smoother and more hopeful for me. When my case was finally approved, I was overjoyed and couldn't wait to share my experience with others. Sal and Deborah's hard work truly earned every cent of their fees.

Shannon and Alex don't care about you or your situation. They only care about the getting the most money with the quickest route to it. They have missed crucial emails, won't answer your questions and could care less of what your objectives may be. They have lied and been deceptive in their practice to me and this has been provided to the CA BAR. They forced me to release them as my lawyers after threat of them forcibly doing it and costing me more money. THEY ARE BULLIES and THIEVES!! I agree with the below reviews that Shannon is more competent (although unethical), and that Alex is extremely unorganized and was a disaster during my court proceedings. If you want a law office that takes as much money from you as possible and that will strong arm you into doing what they want and in the end be nothing but a HUGE disappointment, then this pair is for you!! Never forget that you are their boss. I believe they have forgotten that. Hope this is helpful, and I wish you all the best through your tribulations.
